Palestine/Israel: Peace or Apartheid: Occupation, Terrorism and the Future (Paperback)

by Marwan Bishara (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review
"Marwan Bishara provides a case to answer, drawing on Jewish as well as Palestinian sources." -- The Economist

"Marwan Bishara's book comes as close to being 'required reading' as anything currently available.... His analysis of the failure of the Oslo peace process is particularly devastating, warning us all to oppose its resumption." --Richard Falk

"Both a Palestinian and an Israeli, Marwan Bishara is the ultimate insider to the current conflict. This book, written in the immediate aftermath of the Sharon election, has proved prophetic...We overlook Bishara's arguments at our peril." -- Eugene L. Rogan, Director, The Middle East Centre, The University of Oxford, St Antony's College

"A lucid and up-to-date analysis of recent events in the Middle East." -- Palestine News

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A Book With Superior Political Analysis, November 7, 2004 By  Miss "J." (Detroit, Michigan) - See all my reviews Many people interested in the Middle-East enjoy reading this book for many reasons. The first of them being that the author states non-bias information about the political details suffocating and provoking a continual cylce of turmoil in the arena. His writing is eloquently smooth and he slowly guides his readers where he wants them to be. For anyone willing to open their hearts and minds to an array of stimulating perspectives, then you're choice to buy this book is the right choice. You must forget about being Palestinian and Israeli. You must stand neutral when reading this book and/or any book to be fulfilled and to soak it in like a sponge. He has beautiful writing style. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars Patchy account of conflict, June 29, 2004 By A Customer This book, while complete in its specific knowledge, is rather misleading. Anyone buying it, or scanning the index may believe it gives an account of the conflict. However, it is a(n incomplete) account of the collapse of the Camp David accords, and the author's prediction of the shape of things to come(which while accurate will be better-written-about from the 'now' perspective). The maps could have been more complete, and some more historical background would have been welcomed. Strong for the time it was published, this book will likely date too much for any future purchases. 1 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 1.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR EVERYONE, July 30, 2004 By  S. Sassoon "stefNfloyd" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    If you happen to be a Palestinian or relate to the media's version of a Palestinian Cause, looking to feed your fervor, this book is definitely for you. If you happen to have a pro-Israel stance and bear an intellectual capacity to distinguish between pseudo scholarly bias and nonsense, this book is also for you (you'll be able to cement your case). BUT, if you are someone with common sense looking for a somewhat truthful or dare I say historic approach to this sensitive material, than save your money and buy another book or take a class in Middle Eastern Affaires. This work is quite weak, tedious, and appears to have been fallen victim to horribly poor translation (there's no indication that this work has been translated, however, it's quite apparent by the outrageous use of language in the book that something's odd). Perhaps my opinion of this book might improve were I to read the Arabic version, should one actually exist, and provided the laughable content was in fact a blundering consequence of the translation		Ad feedback   Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
